Luongo and Morsy

[Il Preside]

How can a team with these two ‘pulling the strings’ in midfield be doing so well?

Surely Howson/Hackney/ Barlaser will outgun them in a couple of weeks?

We never even saw Luongo play so we can't really make judgement on him and how good or bad he may have been for us.

Its all relevant - different squad, manager, training, environment etc

yeah fair point but also maybe they are just a bit better than a lot of people realised

 

[MichaelDebeve]

Probably in part, but there were potentially 'better' players in the squad that clouded judgement etc

Morsey was OK most of the time. He just had a rash steak in him where he dived in at times. He was also part of the cost cutting we were going through.

Morsey was pretty good. I couldn't really understand the glee from many people when he left.

I actually think it's a "Morsy type" we're missing at the moment - he was very good without the ball, constantly pressurising the opposition midfield. We have that now to some extent (Howson probably the best example) but not at his level. Obviously our existing MF bring other traits not as present in Morsy's game but being able to control the midfield is pretty critical to how we play.,

both canny players.. Morsy was falling behind Howson and Crooks is I remember rightly.. he's better than that so we cashed in.

I did hear he was a bit ott in training and it lead to many injuries.. not sure if there is any truth in that tbh.

Luongo was brought in under Wilder's strop period.. he didn't fancy him so he wasn't played.
